history
The decree establishing a state archive in the province of Udine was signed by the Minister of the Interior on February 28, 1941. This carried out what the law n. 2006 of December 22, 1939 had planned, namely to set up an archive for each provincial capital, which was supposed to take on the task of recording all state documents and private and public documents.
But during the Second World War , the protection of the archival material was the first priority. Therefore, the State Archives started their service in the Biblioteca Civica di Udine , the municipal library of Udine. On February 20, three bombs hit the Archivio notarile provinciale , other holdings were also affected, albeit less severely than feared.
From 1946 to 1951 the first systematic censimenti were compiled in which the holdings, the fondi , left by companies and institutions, were to be recorded according to scientific criteria and made available to the public.
A state archive in the form of its own building was only completed in 1955 and then outside the city walls. The sixth congress of the Associazione Nazionale Archivistica Italiana took place there. In the following years, a number of holdings from the city library moved to the new facility.
After the earthquake in Friuli in 1976 , more archival materials came into the house, local research was intensified, especially after the establishment of the Università degli Studi di Udine and the establishment of a school for the preservation of cultural assets.
Today the house houses 10,000 shelf meters of documents ranging from the 13th to the 21st century. There is also a library with more than 18,000 publications and several thousand reproductions of documents. The number of users, from around 200 in the 1960s, rose to 3,000, with annual consultations varying between 5,000 and 6,000. Many of the documents are now available on the Internet.
